Two articles I recently came across that by themselves are not earth shattering, but the fact they were published at the same time is very interesting. In the first, defeated representative Brad Carson of Oaklahoma talks about red-state America rejecting “the general direction of American culture”. Then, another article reveals the top-rated network television programs in these same areas (along with the rest of the country) to be awash in sex and violence. I guess it’s hard to resist all that sin.
